(Continued from page 239) 
the trunk to vibrate rapidly. The tip of 
the tree did not clear the water and 
only by holding to the upright limbs 
could wc save ourselves from being- 
shaken into the rushing, icy current 
from which no human being could hope 
to escape. 
Our luncheon consisted of blueberries. 
Never have I seen them so plentiful. 
We laid down and picked all within 
reach, rolled over and gathered more, 
then up and across the divide and down 
to the cabin that for the time being was 
home. 
After resting for a day or two we 
started for Forty-Mile. By this time 
the snow on the pass had melted suf¬ 
ficiently to enable us to cross without 
much difficulty, the streams were re- , 
duced in volume and George knew the 
location of an Indian trail that was 
much easier than the route I had fol¬ 
lowed. 
At Forty-Mile George bought some 
provisions and returned to his cabin, 
while I pre-empted a deserted shack and 
waited for the arrival of a steamer that 
was supposed to be at Fort Yukon. My 
provisions were of the simplest and al¬ 
though I carried nearly one thousand 
dollars in gold dust, the stores could 
supply me with scarcely anything that 
I did not have. The only article that 
appealed to my fancy was a bottle of 
capers that I mixed with beans to change 
the monotony of the diet. Occasionally 
a partridge could be heard drumming 
back of my shack, but only once did I 
succeed in getting a shot. After follow¬ 
ing the sound of the drumming, which 
appeared to come first from one direc¬ 
tion, then another, I stood still and 
waited. The drumming ceased. A step 
forward and with a squawk the bird 
raced through the underbrush like a 
turkey. A quick shot aimed in the open¬ 
ing just ahead of the running bird and 
it rose straight up in the air nearly to 
the top of the trees, then fell dead. 
Would you, too, have shot a partridge 
in the springtime when no other meat 
was available? 
T HE days passed—days with nothing 
to do but wait. Evidently no steamer 
was coming up from Fort S ukon, so it 
would be advisable to drift down to 
Circle City, two hundred and twenty 
miles below. The agent at the North 
American Trading and Transportation 
Co.’s store, who had learned of my nar¬ 
row escape, would not hear of my con¬ 
tinuing my trip in a cockle shell canoe 
and furnished me with a roomy row¬ 
boat which a little caulking with my 
pitch soon put in good shape and I 
started down stream in the boat, towing 
the canoe behind. 
At Mission Creek where my partner 
and I had shot a caribou and a bear 
two years before, a settlement had 
started, and as I drifted past a young 
Swede hailed me and asked to be taken 
down the river. As I was carrying
